Hi Veerapuram,

I found it as you said.  I ran ps -aux first to find the running process
and then killed it.  So here is the screen dump, hope this helps.  I
have configured the pilot to access /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/pilot,
you can see that it connects but then no transfer takes place.  I had
set up the conduit for a one time only, Copy to Pilot.
